DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

There are a number of significant design features and improvementsincorporated within the invention.

The current invention is a bed 1 that will help a user have higherquality sleep, allowing for more rejuvenating sleep. The bed 1 has adeep curved design and can be programmed with multiple rocking options.

As shown in FIG. 1 through 4, the bed 1 is a deep curved design, similarto a half-egg-shape. The bed 1 has a sleeping shell 10 that is attachedto and held up by a pair of support arms 20, which attaches to the head(front end) 11 and foot (back end) 12 of the sleeping shell 10. Thesupport arms 20 are attached to a base 30. The sleeping shell 10,support arms 20 and base 30 can be disassembled for easy transportation.

The user can select rocking settings in a control panel 90 located onthe base 30, or through Bluetooth enabled devices 100 as shown in FIG.3. Rocking settings range in time and rate of rocking or vibrations,allowing for quick naps or longer sleep cycles. The sleeping shell 10will rock based on the rocking settings. The bed 1 would have multiplerocking settings from fast to slow with five different settings in thepreferred embodiment. The user can adjust the rocking speeds. The bed 1will also provide soothing vibrations using a vibration means. The bed 1is designed to sooth the user into a relaxing slumber.

The bed 1 has a power source to operate. This power source isrechargeable batteries in the preferred embodiment but it can be anystandard power source such as a plug and an outlet.

The sleeping shell 10 is covered in the sleeping area 15 with a softfabric. All fabrics used are durable and machine washable. The sleepingshell 10 is in a concave shape with the head back end 11 positionedslightly higher than the foot front end 12. The user would placethemselves and sleep in the sleeping area 15 in the sleeping shell 10.The sleeping shell 10 would have an edge 13 that surrounds the openingforming the sleeping area 15.

The bed 10 has a pair of arms 20 that connect the sleeping shell 10 tothe base 30. The arms 20 would connect to the base 30 at the armconnection block 40. The arm connection block 30 sits on the rocker 50.The rocker 50 moves the arms 20 back and front producing a rockingmotion. This is done using a rocking means such as a motor. The rocker50 is attached to the center of the base 30. The base 30 is flat andwide so that it can provide a stable platform for the bed 1. In thepreferred embodiment, the base 30 is square in shape.

The sleeping shell 10 will pivot on the axle connections 25 with the arm20 so that the sleeping shell 10 is always parallel with the ground sothat the user 10 is rocked by the movement of the arms 20 gently withoutbeing throw from side to side.

The user will be able to control the rocking movement and speed using acontrol panel 90 located on the base 30 and/or a wireless device 100like a controller or smart phone connected to the bed 1 wirelessly tothe control panel 90 which would have a wireless or Bluetoothcommunication means as shown in FIG. 2.

The bed 1 will have a pedal 55 in the preferred embodiment which whenpress will allow the arms 20 to be removed from the base 30 and thesleeping shell 10 for disassemble for easy transportation and storage.The bed 1 is made of durable, waterproof/resistant materials for useboth indoors or outdoors.

Advantages

The innovative bed improves the quality of sleep and of naps, making theuser feel more refreshed. Unlike other products that focus on improvingthe quality of a full-length nightly sleep, this rocking bed is designedto improve the quality of shorter napping periods throughout the day.The bed combines elements of comfort and stress reduction to allow auser to rapidly relax and fall into a deep nap. This acknowledges thatthere is no perfect way to ensure a full 8-hours of sleep per night andis providing a way to get high quality rest when the opportunitypresents itself.
